The texts came at eleven PM.

A pause of thirty seconds. Then:

*I have screenshots. Things you said to me. Things that make the timeline look different from how Scarlett presented it. I have not decided what to do with them.*

    The penthouse was dark when they returned. The city lights filtered through the windows. The apartment was quiet. Too quiet.Lennon stood in the living room. His mind was racing. Sarah's words echoed in his head."Kessler is alive."Damien moved beside him. "Are you okay?""I don't know." Lennon turned to him. "Kessler is alive. He's been alive this whole time. He's been watching us. He's been planning everything."Damien was quiet for a moment. "How is that possible?""I don't know. But we need to find out."The attorney arrived at nine AM. She had been working through the night."The bomb threat was staged. There was no bomb. It was a distraction."Lennon looked at her. "We know.""What else do you know?"Lennon moved to the table. "We know that Kessler is alive. We know he's been orchestrating everything from behind the scenes."The attorney stared at him. "Kessler is dead."Lennon shook his head. "No. He's not. He faked his death. He's been hiding for years."The attorney was quie

    The evacuation was chaos. People pushed and shoved through the narrow corridors of the courthouse. The emergency lights flickered overhead, the sound of shouting echoed off the walls.Lennon held onto Damien's hand with all his strength. He wasn't going to let go. He couldn't, if they got separated, he didn't know if he would find him again.Someone slammed into him from behind. The impact knocked him forward, his grip slipped."Damien!"He caught a glimpse of Damien's face. Then the crowd swallowed him whole.Lennon was pushed forward. He was carried along by the current of bodies. He tried to fight against it, but there were too many people. Too much pressure."Damien!"He couldn't hear a response. The noise was too loud, the panic was too thick.He emerged on the street. The air was cold. The sky was dark, police cars and fire trucks lined the road. Their lights flashed red and blue.He spun around. He searched the crowd. "Damien!"No response.He pushed through the people. He sear

    The courtroom was silent after Scarlett stepped down. Her testimony hung in the air like smoke after a fire. Everyone was processing what they had just heard.Lennon watched the jury. He watched their faces. He tried to read their expressions. The prosecutor stood up. "Your Honor. The prosecution would like to recall Miss Scarlett to the stand."Judge Briggs looked at him. "On what grounds?""There are additional questions we would like to ask."Scarlett was still standing near the defense table, she looked at the judge."I'm happy to answer more questions."The judge nodded. "Very well. Miss Scarlett, please return to the stand."Scarlett walked back. She sat down, her hands were folded in her lap and her face was calm.The prosecutor approached her. "Miss Scarlett. You testified that your brother is a protector, but can you describe the specific acts of violence you witnessed him commit?"Scarlett was quiet for a moment. "I witnessed him kill people. I witnessed him hurt people. I

    The video played on a loop in Lennon's mind. He couldn't shake the image. Damien standing over the man. The weapon raised, the body falling. The blood spreading across the concrete floor.He sat in the penthouse living room. The sun was setting outside the window. The city was going about its business, everything seemed normal. Nothing was normal.Damien came in from the study. He had been on the phone with the attorney for the past two hours."The defense team is scrambling." He set his phone on the table. "They didn't expect the video, they don't have a strategy for dealing with it."Lennon looked at him. "What are they going to do?""I don't know yet. They're reviewing the footage. They're looking for anything that could discredit it.""Can they discredit it?"Damien was quiet for a moment. "The video is authentic. It shows exactly what happened, there's no way around that."Lennon stood up. "We need to do something.""What?""I don't know. But we can't just sit here and wait for

    The morning of the third day brought a new energy to the courtroom. The prosecution was preparing their final moves. The defense was bracing for impact.Lennon sat at the defense table. He was exhausted. The testimony had drained him, he had told the truth. He had revealed everything and now he had to sit and wait for the consequences.Damien was beside him. He was calm and controlled. He had been through worse.The attorney leaned over. "The prosecution has one more witness. They've been saving something."Lennon looked at her. "What?""I don't know, but they've been building up to this. They're confident."The prosecutor stood. "The prosecution calls Special Agent Morrison to the stand."Lennon felt his heart drop. Morrison, the man who had offered the deal. The man who had been investigating them for years.Morrison walked to the stand. He was dressed in a sharp suit, his face was unreadable.The prosecutor approached him. "Agent Morrison. You've been investigating the defendant fo

The three of them formed a small island of calm in a sea of chaos.The judge entered and everyone rose."All rise. The court is now in session. The Honorable Judge Carolyn Briggs presiding."Judge Briggs sat down. She looked at the courtroom, her face was unreadable."The court will now hear the case of The People versus Damien Grayson.

The defendant, Damien Grayson, stands accused of multiple counts of murder, conspiracy, and accessory to criminal activity. The evidence will show that the defendant is a man who has spent years evading just

    Lennon looked at the phone for another moment.Then he answered it."Dad.""I have been watching the news." The voice on the other end was measured, not the careful political measure he had heard his father use in press contexts. Something that had the quality of a man who had put down a version o
